Peter Powell Stunter Mk I

Of the recently-acquired job lot of vintage Peter Powell kites, the one that required the least amount of TLC was the single blue one with fibreglass frame.

When we flew it, the wind was a bit iffy, dropping away often, and we struggled to get it to fly properly, but when the wind did pick up for brief periods, it flew fine. As our first blue Peter Powell flies with a red tube tail, we decided to attach a yellow tail to this kite.

Obviously, we'll need to fly it in a bit stronger wind, and it will also be interesting to fly this Mk I kite together with our Mk II kite, to see whether there is a difference in handling. Watch this space!
